Arsenal scouts have also been to watch Crystal Palace's Victor Moses, although Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City are also in the hunt.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves could hijack Newcastle's bid for Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford, but Mick McCarthy will need special Premier League dispensation to Tottenham's Jamie O'Hara on loan.
